Tom Tom Turnaround

(album: Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be - 1971)

Tom Tom lived for all he could give
As he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
And he took her for his bride
And he took her for his bride

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You don't need a wife
No, you don't need a wife

Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says: "Stay"
'Though he's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
That she may see no more
And then he hears her call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife
No, you can't leave your wife

Tom Tom returns, but only to learn
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
And a strong man's heart was torn
Will he always hear that call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife
No, you can't leave your wife

Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
When he hears a new voice call
"Be my man I'll do all that I can"
Is this what he's been waiting for
Will he turn and answer her call

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please, take me for your wife

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please, take me for your wife

Please, take me for your wife
Please, take me for your wife

So Tom Tom turned around
So Tom Tom turned around

Tom Tom turned around...
